US general blames out gay soldiers in part for Srebrenica massacre

A US Army general has provoked anger from the Dutch for claiming that allowing out gay soldiers to serve in the Dutch military helped lead to a failure to prevent the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.

Former NATO commander and senior Marine Gen John Sheehan, now retired, told a Senate hearing that Dutch military leaders told him poor morale from allowing openly gay soldiers had contributed to the massacre.
